The Silk Lakehouse, Shangri-La Hangzhou
(5 stars)On the tranquil shores of UNESCO-listed West Lake, The Silk Lakehouse brings together heritage, artistry and nature. With just 68 rooms and suites, the hotel feels intimate, its design inspired by the elegance of a Jiangnan silk merchant’s residence.

Gastronomy is central to the experience: Michelin-starred chef Alan Yu leads The Living Room, Golden Silk revisits Hangzhou classics, the Tea Room honours Song Dynasty traditions, and cocktails at The Living Room by SANYOU celebrate regional spirits. Wellness flows through every detail, with a grotto-style indoor pool, Tai Chi at sunrise and guided mindfulness rituals. The Personal Host Programme creates a bridge to the city, offering experiences such as silk weaving, incense ceremonies and fan making, ensuring a stay deeply rooted in Hangzhou’s cultural soul.
